Witness the wonder of Patricia Piccinini’s Skywhale and Skywhalepapa—two breathtaking hot air balloon sculptures, as they come to life in the golden light of sunrise.

​

Join the early morning celebrations at this unforgettable community event. Bring a blanket and thermos or grab a coffee, then settle in to watch these gentle giants slowly lift from the ground and, weather permitting, soar above the sky's of Albany.
